Good Balance, Bureaucratic Growth
Good Balance, Bureaucratic Growth
Microsoft, being an established professional company, respects its employees' work-life balance.
The health benefits are amazing. However, that is going to change from next year.
There are many competitive opportunities. The work does give sufficient work satisfaction.
Microsoft has become the IBM of the 1980s. It has become more bureaucratic.
Microsoft has relatively lower compensation compared to its competitors.
It needs to encourage more innovation. The innovations it encourages are all short-term.
There are a few divisions, though, which are quite innovative, but large sections of the company are age-old and unable to keep up with the competition.
The company needs to get more agile and more integrated. Various products work in isolation. The company also needs to focus on emerging economies.
